Oral Hygiene

It is the practice of keeping the mouth and teeth clean to prevent dental problems, most commonly, cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath. There are also oral pathologic conditions in which good oral hygiene is required for healing and regeneration of the oral tissues. These conditions included gingivitis, periodontitis, and dental trauma, such as subluxation, oral cysts, and following wisdom tooth extraction. So call us today to see your Hygienist!

Extractions

A number of situations may require extractions or complete removal of teeth.
Park Place Dentistry is now offering wisdom teeth extractions. Wisdom
teeth, which are also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth
to develop, usually late teen to early adult. Sometimes these teeth
emerge from the gums without sufficient room, causing pain,
irritation, swelling and infection. Wisdom teeth can cause permanent
damage to nearby teeth, gums, and bone. These teeth are difficult and
often impossible to keep clean. For these reasons, dentist often recommend
removal of such teeth.

Also severely decayed or broken/fractured teeth causing pain and or
swelling may have no other option than to be removed. It is
important to have these teeth extracted as soon as possible to
prevent further complications such as severe swelling and damage to
adjacent teeth.

Partials & Dentures

Due to the tooth decay and loss that can happen with age, dentures may be necessary to maintain teeth functionality and your overall dental health. Dentures are essentially removable prosthetics for missing teeth that are custom made out of an acrylic resin. Depending on the amount of tooth loss and the health of your remaining teeth, we can advise whether full or partial dentures are the best solution for you. A full set of dentures is an option when all of your must be removed teeth. Implants can be placed to increase the retention of a complete denture

Partial dentures will replace a few missing teeth in the mouth and are often anchored to remaining teeth.

Dentures not only help you chew and speak more naturally, they will improve your overall dental health and appearance by preventing gum disease and ensuring that your remaining teeth stay in the correct positioning.

Crown & Bridge

A crown is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. A bridge consists to two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. There are several types of crowns and bridges. Your opinion counts!! We will discuss the best options for your particular case.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening also known as bleaching is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment. We use it to change the color of natural tooth enamel. It's an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Having whiter teeth has become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients. Although there are a number of ways to whiten teeth, the most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
Tooth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.

Root Canals

If you are experiencing severe pain or suffering from a badly decayed
tooth, understanding your options is important for accomplishing the
most promising results. In the majority of these cases, two options apply: removal or root canal therapy. Park Place Dentistry is now offering root canal therapy for the entire dentition. Root canal therapy can prolong the life of a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed. During the root canal therapy, the nerve is painlessly removed from the tooth and the tooth is filled with special soothing medication.

There are several benefits of root canal therapy that goes beyond the
actual tooth to overall health. It is important to have these teeth treated as soon as possible to prevent further complications such as severe swelling and damage to
adjacent teeth.

Implants

Due to tooth decay, advanced periodontal disease, genetics, or trauma, over 50 million Americans are missing at least one of their natural teeth. For these individuals, chewing, talking, and even smiling may be difficult or frustrating. In order to restore the missing tooth and optimize the mouth's functionality again, a dental implant restoration may be needed.

Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect damage to a tooth's surface. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and porcelain.
